1.Wall
We can also change creatively the use of a Wall, transforming is original "function" of separating space or protect/defend.
Even if it is a transitional Wall, I think the project Gamelan PlayTime is a excellent example of that.
Gamelan Playtime is an interactive sound installation that was presented in London at the Royal Festival Hall Education Centre. It's in my opinion, an interesting experience and creative use of the center's hoardings while the building was closed for refurbishment.
The installation is a 30m long "wall" that engages users in a playful and informative experience. Its tactile surface attracts people to stroke the wall while they pass by; sensitive to their touch,it responds with various sounds.
It was the first installation for the Royal Festival Hall Education Centre “Keeping in touch” project. The project aims to promote awareness of the education center's activities
What interests me so much in this first installation created by the British female collective Milk and Tales is mainly two things. Besides the main aim of the project, this installation wanted to bring back the life that usually inhabited the area when the building was open. They wanted to transform the transitory nature of the location where hundreds of commuters pass by everyday by offering an unexpected moment of creativity.
At the same time it brings people together, encouraging social interactions since the interaction occurs not only between each individual and the surface but also amongst the all the different groups of people engaging with the installation at the same time.
Take a look of the here . You can also see this project the second installation that this collective did at the same "Wall".
